Power of our Creator is limitless. He is Most versatile virtuous ,Mighty and beautiful Artist.
Everything visible and invisible is work of his sublime and wise Art Including us.
He loves us most and we can see how we are surrounded by his Countless blessings in this world.
He arranged everything so wonderfully here for us before sending us here in this world . All we have to do is to use our mental energy (which is also his gift) to explore and get them.
He has not just given us everything we need physically but he decorated our spiritual side with creativity and imagination so we can live a complete healthy life with balance of both sides.
He is most powerful and most self sufficient in his skills .
And how generous of him to create us out of his Boundless Energy and bless each of us with some of his Aptitude!
We are tiny parts of his numerous being . Left within universe to learn ,explore , adopt and apply to grow for better .
As each of us has bit of his subtlety, we are bound to show it through our thoughts, actions and other skills such as arts and fine arts.
Those , Who are lucky they can step in their inner worlds and discover what Creator has already kept there for them .They bring it out and use to sooth and embellish their world .
What remains behind if we remove all kinds of arts from our society ?
How would have we known the aesthetic pleasures of our soul and how would have we learnt that we have learnt till today specially the lighter and brighter side of life.
All the bitterness of harsh realities and ugliness of this world could have made us more cruel and insane if there were no arts to calm our angers and light our despair as humans.
Arts play fair role as water over fire and make the flames calmer. This is their natural duty. They make us feel better whether while creating them or just observing them.
Many might have thought "why do we need arts" Why not just simple walk on straight pointed path , So complications can be avoid that New Ideas and Creativity brings along.
I think we are made to reveal our artistic side along with our physical capabilities. It is not In our hand to choose. This is already decided by Nature.
We have gifts hidden in us and we are meant to use them .If people would have been banned for practicing or displaying their arts .They would firstly have felt dead and restricted spiritually. As captive of the airtight cell .
Secondly they would have eventually created ways to do what they were meant to, no matter how hard the punishment was for doing so. Because they would have felt compelled and unable to resist their natural abilities .
Just like ,a hungry need to eat and thirsty have to drink an artist have to manifest his art whether it is Painting ,Poetry , Singing ,Acting Dancing or any other kind . All are way to Release his spiritual message.
This gives Completion to his being. I remember when once i heard voice of flute ( back in village ,i was little) and asked mom what is this ,she told a young boy plays it while grazing his goats on hills.
Now i can understand why he had not choose any other physical piece of work but playing flute. Because his physical job brought him money but his art brought him true happiness and freedom of soul.
Our worldly work define our visible being but our arts which are our spiritual jobs define our invisible existence . Both performances show our depth ,strength and stability as person.
We need arts to convey what we actually want to say not just that we need to.

Creator knew that we and our world both will be needing the harmony of physical and spiritual both sides so he blessed us with both of them!
what art you admire most and why?
Gosh, this is a difficult question to answer, dearest Baili!
ReplyDeleteI love all of the arts: music lifts my spirits, paintings enthrall me, the dramatic arts inspire me. But, most of all, poetry is my favourite art form. Writing it, I believe, is a way of expressing the Soul within. And, it sometimes preserves my sanity!😉
WOW, what a fabulous post!
Oh how I love the way you always make us think more deeply about the worlds around us, my wonderful Friend...😊😊
Much love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Precious Ygraine your kind words always warm my heart :)
DeleteI too love all kind ways that express human mind and emotions
Each one is powerful in it's own way
I am blessed that my maker has chosen me for one of them
Poetry is something that open new horizons to my world yes!
A very thoughtful post Baili. You raise a question that even scientists, who study evolution and culture ask. That is, why do we have art and literature? It is also something that I have thought about.
ReplyDeleteI agree that there is no way that its creation can be suppressed. Evan on places where certain types of expression is banned, people resist those bands.
I have read little bit about reformation in 14th century that revolutionise the world and brought light to narrow minds dear Brain
DeleteI unfortunately don't know where arts are still banned
Luckily in our country no more such suppression , all gender have freedom of expression in society and media as well
music for me, I am partially deaf (wear a hearing aid/lipread) and am slightly afraid if I lost hearing completely I would miss music, although I am lucky that having heard plenty I would still be able to hear it in my head I suppose! Artis Arthur Rackham has done some amazing paintings, I would miss being able to look at those. Creativity is around is in everything though, people who cook well, sew, nurse, garden, that's all creative. What about you?
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your hearing problem dear Betty!
DeleteMusic yes it is my thing either
I remember some most tough times when music helped me to reveal hidden worlds for me :)
All kinds of designers who shape magnificent buildings print beautiful fabrics and decorate houses are artists that bring their inner beauty outside and glorify the world with it
oh yes, so architects too. the difficulty with us humans is we can't always be creative without vanity! I do like your thought provoking debates, that you invite us followers to comment and that you take the trouble to reply - thank you!
DeleteAll art, but mostly music. I believe you could lock a true musician in a closet with a pitcher of water, a spoon and 16 glasses, and he would write and play a symphony.
ReplyDeleteabsolutely true dear Joe
Deletethis is amazingly wonderful that an artist has "free soul" he can create even in grave if buried alive
his skills are not bounded with comforts and ease of his body
music is my savor once and it made my relationship with my Creator stronger so far
Hi Baili :) Art is wonderful. I love every form of art but I think that painting and literature are my favourites. Not only do I enjoy painting, I love to look at paintings. It's very relaxing. Literature too, especially Shakespeare. Radio! That seems to be something of the past these days lol...Alex and I listen to old time radio on the internet. Comedy radio shows from the 1930's - 1950's. There is something about hearing those shows that brings more imagination than watching a television show. And you're right about art and creativity and new ideas.
ReplyDeletedear Rain how amazing that we share our likening for arts :)))
Deletei am fan of your lovely paintings my friend!
Radio ah i wish i was as lucky as you
i would definitely LOVE LOVE LOVE to listen my old kind of radio programs and music that widened my imagination and brought deep pleasure and peace to my soul throughout my village life
i think in this world artists are creatures who bring new ideas of any kind to people of world and then those ideas or experimented and applied in real life
Different arts for different senses. I cannot choose just one, and I thank God for these gifts.
ReplyDeleteAnother great thought -provoking post, my friend:)
true dear Chris
Deleteall forms of art are ways to share inner beauty or complexities of any person
each has unique value and purpose
I do agree with Chris (above) … all art is wonderful but there are times when one may take precedence over another. I could not just choose one.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a thought provoking post, thank you.
All the best Jan
So true dear Jan
Deleteit depends on time and mood that which kind of art is needed to fulfill spiritual space
sometimes it is just breathing :)
If it were not for the arts we might as well be robots. We would have no feelings of any kind.
ReplyDelete"Feelings" yes emotions and feeling that give way to creativity dear Emma
Deletemay be those feeling would have not enlighten and fertile with aesthetic pleasure and brighter attitudes indeed
I enjoy all art. The art of nature is my favourite I think.
ReplyDeletewe are students and Nature is teacher dear Marie
Deletebest students learn quick and improve with experiences :)
I like colourful simple art.
ReplyDeletecolors enrich and strengthen the message within artistic conception dear Christine
Deleteyou are blessed to have skills of painting :)
I love all arts. It is really hard to pick one. Nice post dear
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day

Dear Baili, your reflections on God and the gifts we have been given as part of Oneness is lovely and thought-provoking. I value the written words and the craft of writing. But the artistry of sculpture fills me with awe as does music written in a minor key. So much creativity in the world--all of us share it and have it to share. Peace.
ReplyDeletedear Dee this is amazing how Creator has designed such sublime minds that have extraordinary ability to think , observe , contemplate and create absolutely unique and beautiful concept and then share it with world in any form of art
Deletesculpture amazes me so much ,specially not just aesthetic details but emotional display which seems so powerful skill and so fascinating either
Answering your question, mostly paintings.
ReplyDeleteMaybe because I'm an absolute zero when it comes to drawing and painting.
i bet you have some other kind of skill or art to share your spirit dear Pedro :)
DeleteI follow you on gfc #328, follow back? :)

Baili, this is a beautiful way to look at art! It stirred my soul. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part:
"We need arts to convey what we actually want to say not just that we need to."
Amen to that!!
this is basic aim of arts my dear friend Sandi , to say what we can't with routine articulations :)
Deletei am honored by your kindness !
Hi Baili! I always enjoy all kind of arts but martial arts :)
ReplyDeleteI love beads, yarn, and fabrics; so I often do some needle works and create my own jewelries.
Have a great weekend, Baili.
i think what you choose is one of the oldest and most adopted form of art dear Evi :)
Deletei remember how ladies and girls of my native village used to knit ,sew ,do embroidery in leisurely times :)
my mom was one of them either
when women were restricted in homes they still invented ways to express their inner delicacy and spiritual beauty
For me it is the written word that sustains me, although I have had times in my life when music took over that role because I did not have time to read. I am definitely more of an arts-centred person than a practical one, which is an example of imbalance in a different way!
ReplyDeletei am stunned by books you read at your side bar dear Jenny they are sooo many :)
Deletethis is such a blessing to have peaceful time for reading my friend and so happy that you have it
i think i can realize how your bonding for spiritual side (art) has effected your life in positive and constructive way
you are loving person with pleasant attitude my friend and i can see how you have created a simple and easy yet very beautiful life out of it :)))
Photography is my favorite art, dear Baili. And music.....what would we do without music to soothe us, to relax us, to uplift us, to stir something inside us. I think your words are sometimes artful. : )
ReplyDelete~Sheri
i am huge fan of your photography dear Sheri :)
Deleteyour images are always captured brilliantly and sometimes poetically they convey your beautiful and soulful attitude amazingly :)
you mentioned so well what music does to revive our spirit indeed :)
Baili, I don't know if artful was the right word to use. What I meant was
ReplyDelete"I think your words are creative and heartfelt, and you know how to get the attention of the reader." : )
dear Sheri this is embarrassing for me as a friend that my such precious friend like you had to explain her words !
Deletei believe whatever you said was with kind intention and due to generosity you have within your sweet soul :)
i am always honored by kind overwhelming comments by you all Sheri which i seriously think i don't deserve because as i always said that i am not well read or learned but simple woman with very little knowledge of life and world
all i do is to try share my spontaneous thoughts with my friends and i know in very raw shape often for which i feel sorry
I love all forms of art and don't think I can choose a favorite. I can't imagine a world without the arts. Creativity makes life worthwhile, I think.
ReplyDeleteYour words are lovely :-)
ReplyDeleteThe art that manifests through people is not defined by a single path. All arts lead to the same spiritual truth.
